Nicolas Roche is set to join the list of pro bike riders to appear in high-profile slots on national television, with the recently-retired Team DSM rider confirmed as part of the Dancing With The Stars show in Ireland.

The announcement was made on Sunday, complete with a teaser image of a besuited Roche on a dance floor. The show’s format sees celebrities paired with professional dancers who are tasked with training them and then dancing with them in the live shows.
